Yu-Gi-Oh

For two days only this March, “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie” returns to movie theaters across the nation at select locations. The digitally remastered version of the 2004 anime box office hit was inspired by the internationally popular Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading card game, manga and TV series.

Presented by Fathom Events and 4K Media Inc., “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie” will have special showings on Sunday, March 11 at 12:55 p.m. and Monday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. (all local times). In addition to viewing the full-length anime feature, moviegoers will be treated to a sneak peek of the first episode of the sixth Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series, “Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS” English-dubbed premiere.

Tickets for “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie” can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in nearly 800 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN).
